Answer to Question #181393 in Mechanics | Relativity for Viccy

Question

Explaination range in projectile motion.

Answer 1

Range of a projectile motion refers to the total horizontal distance covered by the particle during the course of its motion (for simplicity in x direction).

In the above figure,

Velocity in x direction = $vcos\theta$

Total time of flight of projectile = $T$

Range of projectile, $R=vcos\theta\times T$
